This all adds up to why Wii U could never be but a side console for me. Yeah, yeah, Ninty originals are heaven blessed and all that jazz, but there are, and will be third party titles I want that won't hit Wii U. I'm troubled by the upcoming consoles. I don't know, maybe I invest in PC and then a Wii U. All these new consoles are kind of depressing.

They're not abandoning sports, they have no control over what third parties do. Their only job is to make a profit which has generally meant getting people to buy consoles and making money from the consoles and the software sold. If you want to complain about someone here complain about EA ignoring the platform and buy their games when they do produce something on Wii U you like. That said EA doing something that people don't like shouldn't be news to anyone....

As I said in my first post here.... where's the loss? Frankly I couldn't care less about the next iteration of the same game that appeared only a few months ago. No new storyline, no new style, no massively new gameplay mechanics. A new iteration of the same game. If anything you should ignore my advice in the first paragraph and stop buying these games entirely. That action is sending a very bad message to companies like EA.

Quite the contrary. I want Nintendo to succeed, and I know they will because they aren't part of the commoditization-trend of today's gaming industry. We'll have to agree to disagree on yearly sport game iterations being quality games or not.

Dat third party support. You know its a problem when the PSP can get PES but you can't.
I'm guessing this confirms no GTAV Wii U for those who had hope.

Actually the story the OP refers to is about neither. The "no sports" comment was about the E3 comment from a few weeks ago (that has since been contradicted) and the announcement by 2K that NBA 2K14 will only be for PS4/XBone and PS3/360.

A lot of overreach in these doom threads. The Wii U isn't breaking sales records by any means but the sky isn't falling either. Just calm down people.

"Don't stir the pot" is a nice way of saying "they're too dumb to reason with"

As long as we still a basketball game al la last years one on the WiiU, it's kinda minor news. Because well you know how these yearly ones go.

2K13 problably didnt sell that much (i mean if FIFA 13 sold bad, NBA 2K13 must have been a disaster)

I got NBA 2K13 though and its awesome. I dont buy more then one sports-game (in every sport, that is) in each generation so regarding NBA im all set. But would be great with a PES in the future. Or an ISS.
